Guys, I'm getting ready to mount a set of Bushwacker flares on my Cherokee. I've done a significant amount of trimming on the wheelwell openings, and to avoid losing clearance for the tires, I'll need to shift the Bushwackers higher than they are intended to be mounted (about 1-1/2" or 2" on the front, and maybe 1" or so on the back).
The problem I'm seeing is that this will take the top edge of the flares up higher than the upper body line in the fenders. I'm curious -- has anyone else done this, and if so, did you trim the Bushwackers to make them match the body line, or did you use something as a filler between the flare and the upper part of the fender?
Another small issue will be that the shape of the flare will no longer match up with the lower body line either, but I thought I could possibly use a small piece of dense black foam or something to fill this one.
Thanks
